Not to mention Sony has 152 more games than Microsoft but still only has received 11 negative reviews whereas Microsoft has received a total of 15. |
You know what that means right? if microsoft has more low scores(i.e. kinect shovelware) while publishing notably less titles, it means their mid tier and AAA games score quite a bit higher than Sony's, on average, to counteract it.
Based on what you just said, Microsoft has a large number of terrible titles bringing down their averages, whereas Sony publishes loads of games with a higher floor and lower ceiling. Do you consider this a good thing? I suppose if you have time to pay 50 games a year, you want masses of decent games, but seeing as how these stats suggest that MS non shovelware games must score multiple points higher, on average, than sony's, indicates that a selective player has a better upper tier selection to choose from.
